Hi there, just found the site and thought I'd sign up. My Renault 4GTL is going back for a re-test today after replacing a bottom ball joint and 2 brake pipes; just need the tax then should be bombing about the island this afternoon!
I've had Renaults since 1979, starting out with a R6TL which was a fabulous machine! Equally as practical as the 4 but with sound proofing!! Then I went up in the world with an R16 TX, how posh were they! Since 1990 I've had 5 R25's including the V6 and V6 turbo. I'm just about to scrap my last one because the clutch has gone and it's not worth the hassel. Who'd have thought you'd have to scrap such a lovely car with electric leather seats and all! But, it's 13 years old and there aren't many in the scrap yards now.
So I've gone right back to basics with an R4 which I'm going to do a rolling restoration on.
Does anyone know a good source of spares, I need a boot lock/handle?
